@HudsonTavares, considering IE6 still has close to 20% of the market share and Opera about 2.4% I think supporting that near decade-old browser is still an important step for most developers. Unless you think ignoring one in five visitors to your site is a good idea?

First of all ofcourse IE6 should die, anyonde developing for it is targeting the wrong markets.

Second, i don’t think it’s a really handy picker. It locked my FF 3.6 for about 6 seconds when i first hit the page, first tried to drag the bottom black/gray slider, which only responded after 1.5 seconds, and then when i tried to drag the picker inside the circle it only wanted to work onclick instead (sticky to my cursor) instead of onmousedown

@SchizoDuckie – I disagree – SVG is a much better options considering the fact that you can bind events to individual elements in an SVG fragment. I do think the event handling in this could use work though – I can fully understand how FF would lock up. Looking at doing a MooTools port…

Why do the colors in the outer regions of the wheel change when I move around the picker? They also change when I move the brightness slider, but they don’t reflect the brightness. Or is this just my monitor adapting to the changing background color?

Am I the only one who hates this OS X-style color wheel? It’s hard to adjust saturation, and it’s hard to change hue while maintaining saturation/brightness. The Photoshop-style color picker is perfect, IMO. Hue slider, brightness/saturation on two axes.

I guess though, if given a choice between OS X “crayon” color picker or this, I’d take this. Barely though.
